The Moral of the Haag Convictions The conviction of the Haag brothers in the federal court at Indianapolis on charges of violating the liquor laws should clear the way for a general cleaning up of the illicit traffic in intoxicants. Law evasion and, in some cities, an almost brazen disregard for the statutes seem to ha,ve become the style, not only in reference to the liquor traffic laws, but also as to other regulations. The Haag convictions demonstrate that violators of the law can be brought into court and can be convicted if the prosecuting authorities are on the job. One of the ridiculous excuses offered by some officials sworn to enforce the law is that it is almost impossible to obtain evidence against whisky smugglers and contraband dealers. These officials beg the question if they ex
pect citizens to unearth the violations, swear out' affidavits, and virtually carry on the whole process of prosecution. Police officers and prosecutors are paid to detect and arrest law violators. If they are remiss in their duties, they should not be .permitted to offer the lame excuses of being unable to catch the law breakers. When this condition comes to pass, there is only one recourse oust the delinquent officers and replace them with men who have both the willingness and ability to detect the evildoer and bring him to trial. A community which complacently permits its officials to wink at transgressions of the law should be aroused from its trance. The safety of every citizen is jeopardized by toleration of law evasion. It gives the criminally inclined man the highest kind of, protection. Regard for the dignity of the law and the purpose for which it is enacted is so thoroughly undermined that presently a well regulated and governed community becomes a thriving place for every class of criminal. No extenuating circumstances surround a policy that permits men to violate laws with the assurance that prosecutions will not follow inexorably and convictions bring drastic punishments. Every unenforced ordinance and law is an indictment of civic degeneracy and abandonment of high principle.
Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams
u.
LEARNING HOW TO LEARN. Wendell Phillips once said that the biggest brains don't go to Congress. What he meant was that knowledge is not a thing to be weighed nor to be measured by titles of honor. Learning Is a thing ot appreciation. Every year thousands upon thousands of men and women are graduated from colleges. And it is to the credit or any nation that such a process goes on. But it took a man trained in the backwoods to pen on the back of an envelope the immortal Gettysburg speech a few hundred words that, for I'ureness of expression and nobility of thought, have never been surpassed. Lincoln had learned to learn. The biggest thing that any college education can do for anyone is to teach tbem to think. And if a man begins to think, he learns how to learn. Learning is the most serious process that the brain is put to. A man has to be downright in earnest. He has to want to learn in order to learn. The mind in the youth is very plastic. It's like the soft clay that the sculptor uses to form his models. It is then that it is easiest to learn to learn. But a man is never too old to learn. Klihu Burnt taught himself more than 40 languages while he pushed the bellows at his forge, and so proficient did he become that he was known far and wide as "the learned blacksmith." You will never amount to much unless you take seriously everything you
do. The hapny-go-lucky fellow gets
Can't Have Everything,' is one of the Americanization series." Form-fitting coats for men are said to be going out of style. The formfitting overalls went out of style some time ag.o Rye is quoted now at 52. That is, $2 a bushei; not $2 a quart.
THE FORUM
The Richmond Palladium: In reply to Mr. Beck's statement, that the City of Richmond had been defrauded through the enumerators report, that Mr. Beck has not done justice to the enumerators. It Is no fault of theirs that the suburbs, Fairview Heights. Benton Heights, Beallview, Spring Grove or Centerville have "no affiliation with the municipality." I had charge of the Sth ward, 34 and 35 precinct, and I am sure their was only two people that I did not get, their residence is on Ridge street. Their were three out of the city, but I never received non-resident clips, which we were supposed to receive. I called as many as five or six times at one place, until I got the information I was after. This gives me the opportunity to thank the people of Sth ward for their courteous treatment. 1 Do not know if I am at liberty, or not, at this time to give out the population. I only had trouble at one place. But after a few tears were shed, and a little prevaricating, (not intentionally) to our supervisor (that they had been out of the city.) They awoke to the fact, that "instead of

Good Evening By Roy K. Moulton
We like Senator Harding for 17 reasons. The first is that he is a newspaper man and the other It reasons don't count. Mr. Godowski says many of the most talented pianists are too bashful to appear personally in public. Why don't they play for the screen? Shortly after the late war Capt. Bruce Bairnsfather, an artist and author, came to America, we presume to make his fortune, as America seems to be a good place to come to for that purpose. A play of his authorship, called "The Better 'Olc," was put on the American stage and enjoyed a long run, and, for all we know, is still running. At one time there were several companies, one starring Mr. Charles Coburn and another starring Mr. DeWolf Hopper. The American dollars rolled into the various box offices and the royalties rolled in to Captain Bairnsfather.
In fact, they undoubtedly made him i
a rich man and are still making him richer. This, it. will be remembered, Is American money, earned by the American people and spent by them on Captain Bairn3t'ather's show. Now, it so happens that Captain Bairnsfather returned to England and established a magazine called "Fragments," of which he is editor and publisher, and it further so happens that this magazine is rneeringly anti-American in its tone. The following extracts from Captain Bairnsfather's magazine the current number aro illuminating: "We don't want American imports In Britain with the rate of exchange as it is." "It seems to me that ever since Col umbus was fitted out with an expensive ship and told to hop off and discover America, that county has been retaliating in a most annoying manner." "We don't finance Mexico to be a nuisance to America, but America finances our perpetual nuisance to go no being a bigger one." (We financed Captain Bairnsfather.) "What is life in America without millions?" A film entitled 'Is America Worth Saving?' Ie seems to be a horribly tactless question." "We presume the new film. 'We

application to the one that O. K. it. I want them to know and feel that I did my duty. The people of Fairview responded as they have always done in Red Cross work, or anything they have been called on to help do, they have that good name all over the city. I hope Mr. Beck will change his opinion of the enumerators and feel it Is no fault of theirs that they do not come up with the population of Muncie or Anderson. Respectfully, Mrs. Grace Wetherttl, Mt. Auburn, Richmond.

He had just hung out his shingle. That morning a stranger entered The doctor asked to be excused as he hurried to the phone. Taking down the receiver, he said: "Yes, this is Dr. Whoosit. Yes I will be ready for you at two-ten this afternoon. But please be prompt, for I am very busy. Two hundred dollars? Yes, that was the estimate I gave you." Pat and Mick of the Dublin Fusiliers had a little matter to settle and adjourned to a convenient spot to adjust it. Just as Pat had given Mick his "sleeping draught," the padre happened to come upon the scene The padre helped Mick to revive, and when the latter was in a state to understand again, the padre said to him: "I shall pray that you forgive Pat for that blow." Mick shook his head slowly and said: "Save time, yer riverence; just wait until I'm fit again and then pray for Pat."
Answers to Questions
K. C. S. When was the Adamson law passed? The Adamson 8-hour act was passed by the house, Sept. 1, 1916, by the senate, Sept. 3, and signed by the president on Sept. 3. The United States supreme court upheld the act by a vote of four to five. The court upheld the statute as a legislative establishment of an 8-hour day on interstate railroads. It was declared that "the authority to permanently establish it is so clearly sustained as to render the subject indisputable." The other Justices did not eeem to dissent from this proposition; they simply denied that the purpose of the statute was to establish an 8-hour day, and it was when supporting the statute as a regulation of wages that the majority of the court was unable to convince the minority Justices as to its constitutionality. Its constitutionality as a wage-fixing statute was not upheld under any general legislative power to fix wages, but solely on the ground that by the federal constitution, congress has been given power over interstate commerce to preserve it, and that any act necessary to its preservation, is a constitutional regulation.

"THEFTS" OF FUR COATS EPIDEMIC IN NEW YORK (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, June 26. An epidemic of thefts of heavily insured fur coats just at the time when their owners had no further immediate need for them has resulted in an investigation which will bring many of the owners to trial on charges of obtaining under false pretenses, R. R. Brown, vicepresident of the American surety company, announced Friday. According to Mr. Brown, scores of New York's "wild spenders" have stored or pawned their coats and then submitted fictitious theft claims.
Car Shortage Causes Stone Plants to Close Down LEWTSBURG, O., June 26. Both of the local stone plants suspended operations , Tuesday morning as a result of the recent order of the Interstate Commerce commission, that open top cars cannot be alloted to such industries for 30 days.

The writer evidently misjudged and misread Mr. Beck's statement. He did
not accuse the enumerators of being j lax, but the purport of his argument! was that many persons had not been j enumerated. A former county official j said the other day that he had resided in Richmond for many years, but never!
yet had seen a census enumerator. He happened to meet the enumerator on the street and asked him if he had been to his house. When shown that ho was marked "not at home," this county official gave the enumerator six names of persons that resided in his home. Incidents of this kind can be multiplied. Mr. Beck's contention is perfectly sound, and we know that he did not intend to accuse enumerators of brine lazy or unfaithful.
